About

Hello and welcome to my food blog turned food site! I am Reshma Seetharam, a mom, wife, and daughter. I am a foodie; I love to cook, photograph, and write about food. I work in the tech industry by day and blog in the meantime. Nothing excites me more than creating a new recipe or taking on a cake project for my family and friends.

Bangalore and my dad's plant nursery, will be my forever home, my heart. No other place in the entire world gives me so much happiness.... I enjoy capturing the sunset and sunrise.

Born and raised in Bangalore, I loved South Indian food and culture! Many of the recipes here are my signature creations. Some have been refined and revised from traditional recipes to suit today's lifestyle. 

My mom picked up my passion for baking and cooking in general. We three sisters grew up with the most amazing childhood one could ask for. Amma was and still is the most amazing chef and baker. I have never seen her ruin a recipe; she always makes it taste great and tweaks every dish to perfection. 

Amma's curries, pilafs, cakes, crispy dosas, and pillow-soft idlis are so good that I can never make them like her in a hundred years. Her trick is her speed, I guess. She works well under pressure. She can make many dishes at one go; multitasking is her middle name, I'd say. Amma is a yoga fanatic and a certified Sogetsu Ikebana teacher as well. She is now the director of Sogestu Ikebana Bangalore and loves her flower arrangements.

Food and photography have always amazed and inspired me. My life revolves around these, and now I have a chance to combine them into my own space /blog. 

Work, running around my kids' busy schedules, and blogging when I have time is what I have been doing these days. It has been pretty busy lately, but I'm not complaining. God has blessed me. My day starts with packing kid's and hubby's lunchboxes. Each has its own habits. Kid 1 is very picky. Kid 2 eats and complains. Hubbs does not take any Indian food to work. So, it's been an interesting ride to pack lunch boxes. Then it's a long commute to work, and working all day. Weekday evenings are packed with kids and their sports schedules, followed by dinner. Blogging is usually reserved for late nights or weekends and holidays.

The kids are now teenagers and will soon be off to college. I'm trying to stop, breathe, and take it all in, the good, bad, and ugly. Tantrums and frustration have become a daily norm. Amidst all of this, yoga and cooking keep me sane and grounded.

Slow down, take chances, try new things, love deeply, kiss slowly, forgive quickly, and never regret. Life is too short to hold grudges. Give it your all and let go. Don't beat yourself up. It's okay; life happens. We never know if we will see tomorrow. So, take care, dear one.
